About this worksheet

What students practice

  • Students classify quadrilaterals in a hierarchy using parallel sides, right angles, and side lengths.
  • Students name every category a figure belongs to and its most specific name.
  • Students classify triangles by their side lengths and by their angles.

How to use

Read the museum guide together, then let students sketch each tile before naming it. Use the sorting questions for partner talk about why a tile fits a family.

A polygon is a closed flat shape with straight sides. Triangles and quadrilaterals are both polygons.

A quadrilateral has 4 sides. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides. Its opposite sides are equal in length.

A rectangle is a parallelogram with 4 right angles. A rhombus is a parallelogram with 4 sides of equal length. A square is a parallelogram with 4 right angles and 4 sides of equal length.

Triangles by sides: a scalene triangle has no equal sides, an isosceles triangle has at least 2 equal sides, and an equilateral triangle has 3 equal sides.

Triangles by angles: a right angle measures 90°. An acute triangle has 3 angles smaller than 90°, a right triangle has one 90° angle, and an obtuse triangle has one angle larger than 90°.
